Hi all.
I was diagnosed by my GP as almost certainly having IBS/nervous stomach. It was a general kind of stomach upset around my sternum and was giving me real discomfort a few weeks ago.
The last week or so, I've been continuing with the changing bowel movements (one day too little, the next as good as ever) but it feels like I had a bout of sickness and diarrhoea brewing but it just hasn't materialised. All of the symptoms are there; lower abdominal cramps that come and go, feeling of nausea, lethargy, bad burping and passing wind and I wondered is this how others experience IBS symptoms?
The doctor proscribed me some Mebeverine Hydrochloride which seem to help a bit. The thing is that I'm trying to keep a lid on all of this as I don't want my anxiety to key into the IBS symptoms, the symptoms create more anxiety and.....well, you all know how it goes.
I guess I'm just looking for a little reassurance that the above sounds like IBS still.
Thanks all.
